Vine rows under bare hills, grapes in the sun, and the sea arms and ferry
town to the north. Weighing up a New Zealand Marlborough wine tour? These are the places your day
takes you.
The first frames are the vines themselves. Straight rows run to blue mountains in the
morning haze and to dry golden hills under a streaked sky, and a track curls past them.
A tractor works between tall rows, bicycles wait beside autumn-gold vines, and two cyclists
ride a gravel road at sunset. Harvest comes last, with pickers down the rows.
Then the glass: pale grapes on the vine, new leaves on a post, a glass of red held up
against the rows and two glasses of white on a stone wall.
The set ends to the north, where the ferries and ships come in. A long arm of sea runs
between forested headlands, a catamaran crosses past mussel-farm floats, and a walker takes
a fern-lined track. A marina sits below the hills, a cruise ship is berthed across the water,
and a train runs along the coast.
